Our standard chalets are all situated with stunning lake views. All chalets have en-suite toilet and shower and tea/coffee facilities.

Makuzi Beach Lodge is situated on the lush Northern shores of Lake Malawi. Delightfully sited in its own completely private bay, the lodge is ideal for that perfect “Retreat to Paradise”.

Makuzi is family owned and built to be Eco-friendly using local materials and expertise to build their “Paradise”. Makuzi works hand in hand with the local community which gives guests the opportunity to experience Malawi at its best.

Makuzi has retained the beauty and exclusivity by only having twelve individual comfortable en-suite chalets (3 superior, 5 standard, 3 family chalets, 1 self catering), all with stunning lake views set in perfectly manicured gardens.

Sipping a cocktail or enjoying one of the chefs’ delicious meals from the deck of the main lodge is an experience in itself. Makuzi enjoys an excellent reputation for its cuisine and guests are encouraged to enjoy a full African dining experience under the stars or in the gardens.

There’s a wide variety of activities: swimming, kayaking, snorkeling, fishing, yoga, excellent birding or just wallowing in the lake.

Activities run by the community are the village tour including the Mission site (David Livingstone's second site in Malawi), our locally built community museum and boat trips on the lake to go snorkeling off our small island "Mphandi Kuche" (place of the morning sun) and to see the African fish eagle.

Horse riding and scuba diving are available off site.

Makuzi Beach is the perfect wedding venue, honeymoon hideaway or family getaway.
